AUGUST BOOTCAMP:

Most of us already know how to use our iPhones and social media so seems natural to us so perhaps just a week on that aspect/component.

Is multi-media boot camp best placed in August? Or later in the year?

Divide per-experience perhaps? Classes per experience perhaps?!

There is a disconnect in the sections and how each class was run and what reporting classes did/skills were being taught etc.

Time and energy waste?! A lot of stress and frustration came from the boot camp experience.

IN AUGUST WE WANT TO KNOW HOW TO FIND AND REPORT STORIES – THEN MAYBE MULTI-MEDIA.

There needs to be more transparency as to what we are supposed to get out of the August section – improvisation is not an option – don’t improvise our education – he needs to have clear aims (e.g. today we are going to learn how to pitch etc.)

There needs to be more split in the disciplines if you want to take advantage of it.

WE NEED A TOWN HALL TO GET EVERYONE’S VOICES OUT THERE. TALK TO PEOPLE WHO PREVIOUSLY WERE ON THE COURSE ABOUT THEIR EXPERIENCES.

If you took away the name of Columbia would you still value the experience?

How can we get everyone having a beneficial experience?

CONCLUSION:

Perhaps for reporting there are classes everyone has to have e.g., fact-checking, finding docs, etc.

If you’re tabling this week (PLEASE volunteer if you can!), use the “point of sale” ap and
contact Amanda for the code

We’ve sold 33 tickets; we need to sell 195 to breakeven

Selling merch while tabling

The photographer is ready! Pics will go on social media and people can tag themselves

Can everyone do 30 minutes at the door? Shifts will be two people at a time

People need to check in to get drink tickets

No selling tickets at the door — the final day is Friday to get tickets

Communications

Nothing for this week!

Positions and Committees

Tulika spoke with Coronel, Huff and Shapiro about trainings — they will reach out for us to do publicity (Tulika should contact Juliana for this)

Academic surveys are on the way — Tulika will talk to Kasiana about last year’s surveys, what should go on them (accessibility of equipment and lab times, August bootcamp, reporting, what classes should be taught when)

For future
